New Corvette Color: 2007 Atomic Orange.

Anyone going? I'm sure they'll post pics on the site too, though.

It'll be interesting to see how much different it is from the current Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic.

Holy crap, that is a cool looking pace car. WAYYYYYY better than the earlier (Daytona?) Z06 pace car.

Im not usually a fan of overdone pace cars but I have to admit that one looks pretty slick.

IF I could swing a ZO6 $$$$$$ I would buy one in that scheme if it were available. That's sweet!

That is a very nice looking pace car, I can only hope they will scale it down into a 1/18 diecast as that is as close as I'll get to owning one.

Why does that remind me of a Corvette police car?

Re: New Corvette Color: 2007 Atomic Orange.

It's nearly impossible to make a C6 ugly and the pace car looks great IMHO. Could be a little envy is going on

I'm pretty much never a fan of pace-cars. And this is no exception.

Can't wait to see the new orange though.

Re: New Corvette Color: 2007 Atomic Orange.

There is no paint job that can make a Z06 ugly.

Pace cars are ment to be extra colorful

More on Atomic Orange :

http://www.corvetteconti.com/welcome...=396&Itemid=47

Looks like it could be a sort of Hugger Orange, but with a metallic finish.


Disappointing to me that it will be a premium color with additonal cost option though.

The likely means one less "free" color to choose from.
